Created attachment 171148 [details] Launch animation pixelation showcase SUMMARY When using fractional scaling factor (e.g. 125%), icon animation shown next to the cursor when opening an app appears pixelated. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Set launch feedback cursor animation (e.g. to bouncing). 2. Open an application from the task manager. 3. Observe the animation near the cursor. OBSERVED RESULT The icon appears pixelated. See attached video for reference. EXPECTED RESULT The icon appears clearly.

With every app, or just Steam?

Probably an XWayland integration issue, then. I don't notice it at 225% scale, FWIW. It's possible it's happening but I'm just not noticing due to the high scale factor and short duration of the animation.

It happens to even native Wayland apps. Is it that the component for launch feedback animation runs in XWayland? Also I tried setting my display size to 225% and I can still see it, but my monitor is small so it's easier to see.

Oh hey, you're right. Indeed, nothing to do with XWayland. Can reproduce if I actually look at it properly. :)

Still an issue. Thunderbird launch icon looks like a mess even with 125% scale. But not very noticeable with Dolphin.

I did a number of tests, see the added attachments. It looks to me that the launch feedback cursor icon always looks blurry, independent of the display scale. Except if the icon itself is pretty large (due to large display scale). My hunch is, that a large version of the application that is being launched is used for the launch icon and then scaled down, instead of using a version of the icon of appropriate size (if it is a raster graphic) or rendering the icon at the correct size right away (if it is a vector graphic).
